            Bug ID: 226992
           Summary: www/cgihtml: fails to link with lld as the system
                    linker
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

            Blocks: 214864

I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker
(/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in t=
he
exp-run, PR 214864.

An excerpt from the build log[2]:
---
cc -O2 -pipe  -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -c string-lib.c -o
string-lib.o
ld: error: -O: number expected, but got 'string-lib.o'
*** Error code 1
---

FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple
option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it=
 to
ld.bfd).

A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=3Dyes, exists to indicate that a port does=
 not
work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. =
This
should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it
may have no effect on other ports.
